Training Bus Sightings

Is 3601 still in use as a trainer? I haven't ever spotted it and it hasn't been mentioned anywhere on this forum in the past year.

Currently out of use.

It isn't even in training livery is it why is it out of use is it being painted or is it being stored at Miller Street

One of the Alexander Ultras was going around Coventry earlier at about 1155

I saw one of the coach training vehicles in Bloxwich High Street around 1110am this morning.

On the subject of 3601, isn't that the vehicle that had a camera in, to film the routes?

1421 is doing the Rounds in Darlaston seen on the Darlaston Road heading towards Darlaston I think it turned left at the bottom I was too far up to clearly see either that or a Omnilink went past

What's the camera for?

I think the livery is smart and these tatty Tridents have scrubbed up well.

4131 was a never 'that' tatty. Just a few panels looked a mess, just abit shabby. If you want tatty, go and have a look at 4180.

I think that with the Toothpaste livery even a few messy panels can make a good bus look tatty!

Toothpaste with replacement panels didn't look that bad. I remember a TWM B10L (At Yardley, not in Toothpaste) that had a whole front rebuild in red! Looked like it was made from Lego.

The training livery looks great on 4697 and I cannot wait to see how 4520 will look in the new training fleet livery

It's for the training school, not for any particular depot.
